Although I am not sure if drooling is a result of the infected tooth, your body may be aware of it and you therefore are subconsciencely keeping your mouth open while sleeping - especially if it is painful. It may be your body's way of dealing with this. I have drooled most of my life - however I also have tmj. The night sweats may be from a slight fever due to the infection as well. You should ask your dr for an antibiotic - until then rinse a few times a day with warm water & salt to flush it out and keep the infection in check until you get to the dentist.
